For Hugo there was '#blending in' and there was *blending in*.
This was too much.
Every week back home would ring an old phone line in Forrest's basement at 8:56 p.m. local time. He had to pick up on the eighth ring to actually make contact.
No more.
No fewer.
Two students ran past. Newspaper between their heads and the rain. Hugo stood back in the shadows and checked his watch.
8:43 p.m.
When the coast was clear, he bolted for the maintenance entrance. 2/x

If we have an inline `span` inside a `p` & we give it a semi-transparent `background` + a `padding`, we get an alpha increase where backgrounds of adjacent lines overlap.

How would you solve this problem without text duplication, without stacking 2 identical `p` elements, one for background (opaque background + transparent text + opacity) and one for text (transparent background)?

A little @codepen demo I made some years back: #duotone a B&W image using pure #CSS #blending (and very little code in total) codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/MWb

With a comparison slider between the two blend modes that may be used for the effect and a picker for duotone palette base.
